Property Description
Tucked away in a particularly leafy address in the peaceful West End district of Dowanhill, this charming main door, two-bedroom garden level conversion offers extremely comfortable living quarters with the added benefit of private front garden and even has its own garden room which is used for yoga.
Crown Gardens is one of Dowanhill’s most impressive grand terraces. Tucked away in a secluded, tree-lined enclave – this is a highly regarded address which is known for its tranquillity, grandeur and centrality. Situated within walking distance of amenities in Hyndland and Byres Road, Crown Gardens is a particularly convenient position and as such the home for sale is likely to appeal to everyone from professional couples who work in the city, to downsizers in search of a peaceful but handy living situation in the heart of the West End of Glasgow – minutes’ walk from their favourite restaurants, bars and coffee shops.
A charming private front garden creates a wonderful first impression and leads directly to the property's completely private main door entrance, providing a level of privacy and independence seldom found within traditional West End conversions. The garden is one of the property’s finest characteristics, offering a lovely outdoor space to sit out with friends, bring on potted plants and take in the lovely peaceful atmosphere of Dowanhill. With so much foliage surrounding Crown Gardens at this time of year, the garden area is quite sheltered, enjoys the lovely backing track of the wind swishing through the leaves and gives you the feeling of total seclusion, transporting you away from central Glasgow.
Internally, the accommodation extends to approximately 883 sq ft and is presented in excellent order throughout. To the front of the property there is a comfortable living space which offers comfortable living space and easily accommodates a two-piece suite. The living room is semi open plan to a roomy kitchen area which features a sleek contemporary fixtures and integrated appliances. Beyond the kitchen is a lovely dining area which is perfect for enjoying mid-week meals or entertaining guests at the weekend. The principal bedroom is of very comfortable king-sized proportions and easily accommodates a large wardrobe, drawer sets and bedside cabinets – a relaxing, luxurious sleeping space with shutters that can be closed over for added quietude and darkness. Bedroom two is nestled away at the rear of the property and is of double-sized proportions with space for a home working desk if required. A beautifully tiled main bathroom completes the main body of accommodation and features white three-piece suite and shower over bath.
The welcoming reception hall gives access to all principal apartments. The beautiful lounge enjoys generous proportions and excellent natural light, creating an impressive main public room for both everyday living and entertaining. The principal bedroom is a substantial double apartment positioned to the front of the property, whilst the second bedroom, located to the rear, is another comfortable double room. A well-appointed bathroom serves the sleeping accommodation.
Of particular note is the garden room, extending to approximately 175 sq ft. Completely separate from the main apartment, this versatile space is currently utilised for yoga but could equally serve as a home office, creative workspace, gym or hobby room, making it a rare and valuable addition to a West End property.
Residents of Crown Gardens also enjoy access to attractive communal rear courtyard gardens, carefully maintained and shared with neighbouring properties. Given the positioning, desirable main door access and extent of privately owned outdoor space within a much sought after address – viewing is highly recommended.
